I do see your point. Solutions could be also to provide a Tramp function a user could apply via customizing `make-backup-file-name-function', or to implement `find-backup-file-name'. First alternative has more charm to me. Or convince Emacs maintainers to handle Tramp file names as well. Currently they are doing the following (see files.el, function `make-backup-file-name-1'): ;; Normalize DOSish file names: convert all slashes to ;; directory-sep-char, downcase the drive letter, if any, ;; and replace the leading "x:" with "/drive_x". > Thks, > P.
